Castro Borneiro is one of the most important castors in Galiza. It was inhabitated between VI B.C and I A.C. Industrial tools were found, like crucibles and moulds used in metallury. Nowadays these objects are exposed in the Castle of San Antón, in A Coruña. This was also the first Castro in which Carbon Dating was performed in Galicia.
